R.I.P. Chico, We are still watching your videos!
Wynot Wander Is the guy's name, Chico? And he passed away? I just found his video today😑
Tuty Hasjim yes last winter if I recall correctly. I used to follow him.
I just found these videos too.
I love traditional cast iron cookware. A traditional Dutch Oven can cook such awesome things in it.
Cook with mine with legs on a gas range several times a week. I just move the pot grate and is sets on the stove just fine. No scratching no gouging. Also cook on a wood stove, and hang it and right down in the coals. I have Dutch oven the were made with and without legs. You can buy them that way, you don't have to grind them off. It's called smooth bottom.
Sometime last year, I told my hubby I wanted an enameled cast iron dutch oven. Months later, around my birthday, he comes home with a huge one that weighs half a ton with legs on it. For the LITERAL life of me, I could not figure out how I was gonna hoist it up to the stove to cook with it. Now I know that it is not even meant for the stove top😧 Thank you!
You need to specify Le Creuset. They are expensive but are superior to any other brand of enameled cast iron cookware. They last generations and are something you can hand down to your kids or grandkids.
You're the real deal - nice to listen to a man like you in this funny world we live in today. Thx !
Miss both of you. Glad your vids are still on.
Love both my Dutch ovens and loved your video. Wouldn't cut my legs off but then I use them mainly on a fire.
It is very clear that you are a real chef .
Thank you for all the information
What a great surprise 😊 Chico miss you bud....Just got my first Dutch oven...can't wait till spring 🏕
I purchased two dutch ovens from Lodge and love them. One with legs for outside cooking and one without the legs for stovetop cooking. I got tired of replacing my non stick pans every two years or less due to them wearing out. I now love my cast iron like I did when growing up and eating the food cooked in my grandmother's cast iron skillet which we still have.
I just bought two 5qt. Ozark Trail Dutch ovens from Walmart for about $18 each. They had the Lodge brand for about $50 each. As I’m watching this video, I’m chowing down on some chicken and vegetables that I made tonight in one of the Dutch ovens. I cut up a whole chicken then added potatoes, carrots, fresh green beans, onions, garlic, black pepper, red pepper, basil, and a sprinkle of poultry seasoning. I let it cook on a tripod over some charcoal and put some on the lid also. I waited patiently for about an hour, turning it a few times during the cooking process. Let me tell you, this stuff is lip - smackin’ good! Maybe I am just very hungry, but it seems to taste especially delicious, perhaps because I’m excited to have cooked it outside over charcoal for the first time. Anyway, my cornbread is another story...I tried cooking it in a Dutch oven over charcoal, but inside of my Smokey Joe barbecue grill. The oven was not exactly level, so my cornbread came out lopsided. It tasted ok, but was charred on the bottom. 🤨 Oh well. I’m living and learning and enjoying the experience. Thank you for your advice and the good tips and information. I hope to get good at this someday.
I've cooked with Ozark trails for several years but this past week end I had two 12 inch old lodges gifted me I love the lids fit tighter and seals better than the Ozark the surface was smoother on the old ones to
I know money has a lot. To do with stones choice that's the reason I have the Ozark trails I was lucky
Enough to be gifted
Those 12 inch. Old lodges that he didn't use any more I will cherish them the rest of my days
Without a doubt the most versatile priece of cookware ever made. You can easily use it in a conventional oven without removing the legs. Just sit on a cookie sheet. I have baked pies, muffins, cakes, breads. Made pizza. Enchiladas, cheesy grits, Swiss steak, meatloaf and more. When I roast chicken, with very little effort it comes out moist, juicy and golden brown in one hour not 7 like you suggested. You can cook anything and everything in a duch oven over a bed of coal easily and clean up is a breeze. Any cook worth their weight should own at least one. I recommend Lodge brand. Your kids will fight over it when you die.
I do the same thing! !!!! On a cookie sheet! Works like a champ!
Love lodge! Lodge rocks! Lodge fanboy also!
Outdoor shops or Academy have these pots cheaper than Amazon. Just picked up a 10.25" skillet for $14 at Academy. Plus, they have the nylon brushes and scrapers specifically designed by Lodge. I'm slowly moving back to cooking everything in cast iron.
Haha this was the first video I've seen him make... I subscribed right after watching it....sure do miss him and his adventures
You're the best! Thanks!!
me too....I like the legs on the Dutch Oven for my propane grill. When camping I use a tripod over the fire.
Going to get one. Doing research now!
Walmart has one that hasn't legs , but has a folding rack that works as legs , best of both worlds
Great information. Thank you.
Great video duch ovens are great and there's nothing like making a big pot of chilly over a 🔥 👍
My Dutch Uncle had a Dutch Oven over which he gave advice.
on campfires you can also use the ones with out legs you can use a tripod or raise it up on a stand or support it with logs and have coals in middle
Yup. I have a tripod as well . . . Cheers
It looks like you have two Chinese Dutch ovens. I never had much luck with Chinese iron. I have six - four Lodge and two older, not marked DOs. I also have a DO table that I use on the deck. It's great to see someone who shares my passion. Thank you.
Great video!
Have 3 of these old style cast irons.Great for outdoor cooking on the camp fire.
Those spots where you cut the legs off should be seasoned and that will prevent any rust from forming on those spots. Just coat with oil and reseason. You might as well just reseason the whole thing while you're at it.
Added info....you can stack these pots...the legs allow room for briquettes ....with coals above and below each pot you can cook simultaneously in multiple pots...
Thanks for this video - great information
When you see an old dude waving a stick around you know he means business about what he's saying!
Thanks so much for your review. For years I used those stupid fancy ovens and pans that you mentioned and so glad I started cooking with cast iron. My question is, do you think it's healthier to cook from these pots?
Sure is, if you get a little iron in your food, its good for the body as it needs it and uses it. But when its well seasoned, it does not 'contaminate' food being cooked, especially when baking or roasting meat inside, Love these cast iron pots to bits, they cook food beautifully.
Thank you Chico
Great video, Recife Brazil South America.
Out door gormet from accadamey sports sells a 14 inch 8 quart with the top lip with out the legs on the bottom it still can be set on a trivit or stand and use coals under it
Very Help full
I know a lot of people will only buy lodge but the out door gormet 14 inch. Has a ring on top for coals but has a flat bottom for 54 dallars a accadamey sports
that's why I go to antique malls and buy the old good ones for about 10.00 to 20.00 Buck's.... loved your video ... I do need to get a big Dutch oven
ty salsbery if you can find Dutch ovens for 10-20.00 in good shape I will buy everyone of them from you for cost plus $5-10.00!
Got this one for 11.00

i need one of those with the lip honestly that makes the pot, i have one doesn't have it still managed to cook stew, chili, and even a pot pie in it. but would be nice to balance the coals on top thanks dufus.
I like your video and right now I will be looking for a cast iron kettle online. I have the cast iron pot we used when growing up and living with our grandparents. We heated water in that large pot for washing clothes, and we also used it to make lard when we slaughtered a hog, and made pork rinds. My grandmother also had a cast iron skillet which she used to cook with on her wood stove. We have the skillet also and it is still being used today. I want to get a kettle to cook with when we lose electricity at my home. I need to get another skillet and think that I have found one which is made in the U.S.A., and not too expensive.
Good information.
Chico. . I have an inverter solution for the motorhome if you interested.. pretty cool.idea and I am doing it to my bus this spring.
Your Awesome!
Good points!
Could you just paint the bare metal with black high temperature stove paint?
Good video, Thanks. I had a bit of a cringe when I saw that you ground the legs off, haha. I'm in Australia and camp ovens with legs seem impossible to get here. The only ones available are the Lodge brand which are $AU250 for the 12" one! I'll check out Amazon. I have three cast camp ovens and two spun metal ones. I could use one with legs. The old ones in second hand shops bring obscene amounts $AU550 for a 14" and $350 for a 10", both old and crappy looking, but perfect on the inside.
You should share more about your restaurant and cooking days. I think people would be interested.
+Michigan Homesteader RIBS !!!!!
What was the name of Chico's Restaurant and where was it? What kind of food was served, and was he ever married? Share some recipe's tips and tricks. Share some funny stories.......ect
+Michigan Homesteader I've had Chico's chili and lemme tell ya. BAMMM. it was the best.
Sounds yummy!
GREAT VID
Take three automotive freeze plugs and weld them together with rebar in a triangle shape to match legs. Keeps it from falling into the grill or burner.
You saved me from making a big mistake thank you.
I got my 12 quart here in Australia today at Anaconda, Spinifex brand for $25AU. That would be cheaper in America to convert from Australian dollars.
Hi, thank you
I used to go to second hand shops and buy mine,[people are waking up now and they're hard to find] and they would be rusty,I would take a wire wheel brush to them ,wash in hot soapy water[the ONLY time you ever use soap on them] and re season them,I have quite a few of them and never paid more than six dollars for them,nice video chef.
cook some of ur fav dishes. docooking school ur terrific gogo guy
Before you cut the legs off, try it on the stove. I have a Lodge 8 quart and it sits on my gas stove just fine. No need to cut off legs. Also Lodge makes at least three styles of such ovens. One with legs, one with good sized handles no legs for inside and one with the handle to hang outside or carry.
Interesting to listen to you. Where are they made. I hope it is USA. If not there are some made in USA which is a must for me.
i would bet that they are made someplace other than the good ol USA
Good stuff. Thanks Chico. You should do more cooking tips. Food is always a good thing!
Or you could jave just ised a trivet to elevate your existing one.
The one on your left, is a Camp Oven because of the lid style and it has legs. Now the one on your right is a Dutch Oven, as it has no legs. If was a true Dutch Oven the lid would not have the coal lip on it.
I just bought a 7 quart size ... Is that a good size for a single person ?
I have a 5 quart.
I've been cooking on a gas range for years on many stoves never had a problem just move on the range they will work just fine no scratches. DO NOT REMOVE THE LEGS A NO NO BEEN CO
It's refreshing to watch a video that is fact and not bulls_t. Thanks Rufus an Dufus
link is broken
I have a Staub 29 for my home oven (bought lightly used on eBay for $135.00) - and I love it! It will roast a 5 lb chicken with no problem. It is enameled on the inside. BUT - when I cook in the coals out on my farm, I use a Lodge regular cast iron Dutch oven which cost $ 48.00 (new). No need for fancy French pots while cooking in a fire. The best of both worlds - in two very different settings. Great video Rufus!
cool beans
just bumped into your vdo....love, you should cook some form us when boondocking...I will go for such a. Dutch pot, they are rare in Europe...Happy ⛺
Why not just buy one that is designed for the stove and oven without the legs instead of cutting the legs off?
the other thing you could do is just buy one that doesn't have legs and then just get a little trivet or make a trivet out of horse shoes probably cheaper than buying two of them and cutting the legs off one
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the pot with legs on and the rimmed lid is called a Camping Oven or Camp Oven. When it has no legs, that is called a dutch oven. Most dutch ovens also have a domed lid without the ridge. Retail brands play fast and loose with these terms, though, so you will see them used interchangeably.
Dig a hole 3 in bigger than the pot, 5 inches deeper than the pot'n are six or seven put everything in the pot you want to cook put Kohl's at the bottom of the hole wrap the pot in tin foil put the pot on the coals put Kohl's around the pot in the hole put coals on top of the pot and cover it with Earth come back in 6 hours don't disturb this while it's cooking
that you you cut the legs off. why don't you reaseason the pot and it won't rust.
Ever hear of a trivet?
I hope you are doing well in 2020. What is wrong with enamel coated cast iron Dutch ovens? They are so much easier to care for!! How do you keep yours from rusting. I threw my cast iron skillets in the trash because I couldn't clean them correctly. The rust doesn't come off without a ton of elbow grease and work - and even then it doesn't work!
i bought one without legs
OK, So let see you cook something
Why no mention of a trivet for cooking that chicken or a nice roast?
😄
Season the ground down areas and it will blacken over time just like the rest of the dutch oven and prohibit rusting..
And if they arent made in AMERICA then they aren't worth your money.
These days they sell them with and without legs!
The legless ones are more for stove or hearth use. The other is for fire, or more properly, coals. It's a Camp Oven. Lodge is my choice. Proven product.
Those Dutch ovens are way to big for most family cooking. You could feed an army with them. All you really need is a 12 inch or a 12 inch deep. You could even get away with a 10 inch.... Do some more looking on the net for more info.....
Wayne the barber I like the big ones because what you don't eat and share with friends and family you can take the leftovers and make meals to take to work
Low Rider...lol
I like this tough guy. He doesn’t stand for "cutsie" cookware, doesn’t think women should have hair on their arms, and uses his handle rod as a weapon. I’d eat chili with him, and he could wise me up.
Excuse me those are not Dutch Ovens. They are camp fire ovens. Big difference. Buy the right pot no need for grinding. Oh my gosh some knowledge goes a long way.
Gary Boyd Your excused for being an idiot. They are Dutch ovens. Also called camp Dutch ovens. Came before your stove top version dude-et
WHY ?????? You can buy kitchen ovens that are flat onthe bottom, and you wouldnt have ruined a good dutch oven
The pot with the legs't isnt good for camping if u want to gather large rocks to support the pot while a fire is going..I sawed mine off
we dutch too and we also what you call a dutch oven, for what reason ever its called dutch oven we cannot understand why its callled like that.
its hardly used in netherland (there is where dutch people live)
+cees1910 1. In 1704 a man by the name of Abraham Darby traveled from England to
Holland to inspect a Dutch casting process by which brass vessels where cast in
dry sand molds. Upon returning to England Darby experimented with the
process and eventually patented a casting process using a better type of molding
sand as well as a process of baking the mold to improve casting
smoothness. Darby eventually began casting pots and shipping them to the
new colonies and throughout the world. Ragsdale suggests that the name
"Dutch Oven" may have derived from the original Dutch process for
casting metal pots.
2. Others have suggested that early Dutch traders or salesmen peddling
cast iron pots may have given rise to the name "Dutch Oven".
3. Still others believe that the name came from Dutch settlers in the
Pennsylvania area who used similar cast iron pots or kettles.
Additonal info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven
The Good Journey Good to see how the Dutch are still remembered in the US. As one of the founders through colonization. Although most Americans don't know where the Netherlands is on the map.
Watcher of Truth I do! My maiden name is Kersten, which I believe is Dutch! But sadly did not know relatives. I would LOVE to visit one day!!!
The Good Journey Sounds Dutch to me. You can look it up in Dutch genealogy search engines. Here's one: I already added the name. Use Google translation to read it in English.
If you're using Chrome it will automatically ask for it.

Camp ovens not Dutch ovens
Not because of political reasons, ok, a little, but I prefer american made which means lodge these days. Other wise a good trick.
Love lodge!
I tried cooking a chicken in the Dutch oven and it didn't work out very good. I put the chicken in the oven (alive) put some olive oil all over the chicken; with some salt; pepper; olive oil and put lots of water to just over the chicken's head. I put the lid on and placed in the oven> I build a fire under the pot; had lots of hot coals going, the put a big punch on the lid with lots of heat. I cooked it for about two hours. It was tender, and it was black. Didn't taste very good with the feathers still on, but we ate her.
I tried your method of putting an (alive) chicken in oven from the local live poultry store. However, the chicken made a lot of squawking and kept kicking the oven door open and running around my kitchen.
:)
Great video. However, I just found out when you purchase one of these Dutch ovens on Amazon, they use our purchase money to support BLM. Not good
If you wanted the best dutch oven you should have bought a Lodge, made in Tennessee. not something made in China.
Absolutely!
U are very sweet...
And what you did to that was stupid
Women do not have hair on there arms? You need to get out more often, You should try Lodge brand and you will see better fitting lids.
Love lodge!
When you said you ground off the legs I thought I would cry. Then I went to the Amazon link and found out the Dutch Ovens were made in China. No wonder you didn't mind destroying a cast iron dutch oven. They are junk from China and not worth worrying about. Won't last long so it isn't like you were grinding on something worth anything.
ugh boring
This is a crime. Just sayin. Of course its your prerogative.
What are you saying? I don't understand.
I disagree with you butchering a Dutch oven. It's my personal thought. There are many Dutch ovens that don't have legs. "But" you bought it so its your choice.
Hello from Central Ontario! 🙋🏼♀️
Informative video! Thanks for making it.
I sent you a “YouBoat” and a big like! 😉👍🏻
They are the worst cast you can buy.
My Dutch Uncle had a Dutch Oven over which he gave advice.
